Chapter 249: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Mrs. Xu listened to Xiaoyu's tone, as if she would not let Xue Wen follow without a guard, firstly, she was afraid that her son would resent her, and secondly, she also wanted her son to have a reliable person to follow, so she hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo can ask for two guards." As he spoke, he sent someone to the front yard to ask for the Lin guards and Kong guards who secretly followed Xue Wen to Wuzhou last time.
Xiaoyu blinked and looked at Mrs. Xu, and couldn't shirk it for a while, so she had to look at the two guards in amazement, nodded stupidly, and couldn't help but secretly calculate: "I don't know what medicine is sold in this Mrs. Xu's gourd, forget it!" I made an excuse on the way and asked the two guards to take him back. ”
She made up her mind, so she stopped talking, and took Luo Twelve, Han Hu, Han Bao, Zhong Min and his wife and his maid guards to Xia Mansion to pick up her grandmother and her nephew Ruhao and set off together.
Mrs. Xu looked at her son and Xue Chen wearing one-color arrow sleeves, riding a tall horse and following Xiaoyu's carriage, walking farther and farther, regretting it for a while, and kept complaining to Zhao Huanhuan: "You old goods have a bad idea, now ...... Wen'er was really taken away by her, me, how is this good? ”
Zhao Huanhuan didn't expect it, so she had to comfort Dangui together: "Madame relax, now that the four seas are peaceful, everyone knows that Wen'er went out with Mrs. Shizi, if there is a mistake, she is not easy to explain." ”
Mrs. Xu was willing to listen, and thought: "Even if it's all her fault, my son has suffered all the hardships." I cried so much that I came back to life, and I went to beg Xue Guogong to send a few more guards, and I didn't want Xue Guogong to have a few more subordinates. Because of the saint's southern expedition, that kind of martial arts is not bad. They all found a way to follow the army, and the rest couldn't be used, so Mrs. Xu was so anxious that a Buddha was born. The second Buddha ascended to heaven.
Although Xiaoyu had many guards, Mrs. Xia was old and didn't dare to go too fast. I walked slowly for only two days, and on the second night, I found an inn to rest.
Xiaoyu saw that everything was settled, so he called Xue Wen, Xue Chen, Lin and Kong, two guards: "Luo Twelve has found that two people have been following us in the past two days. I thought it was a coincidence. I don't want them to follow today, let's take the old man slowly. These two people, strong people and strong horses, also stop and go like this. Very suspicious. Escort Lin, isn't it that your wife has sent some additional manpower? ”
Lin Huwei is slightly older, in his thirties, with short sideburns. I was also taken aback when I heard this. Busy said: "Madame does not have her own guards by her side, and her subordinates and Kong guards are all the guards of Grandpa Guo." Grandpa Guo still has a few guards, but those who are powerful and have a way to follow the people of the Southern Expedition have managed to go, and the rest of the work is very ordinary...... Why don't I take a look with Brother Luo tomorrow? ”
In this way, when it was time to shoot at noon the next day, Guard Lin followed Luo Twelve back and replied: "Mrs. Hui, these two people are not the guards of Grandpa Guo, nor are they the common stewards in Madame's Grange. The little one is really secretly following us, even though they are running ahead of us at this time. I'm afraid I'm also waiting in the city ahead. ”
Xiaoyu's face sank when she heard this, and she thought to herself, "I still want to make up a nonsense." I didn't expect them to be staring closely. ”
He simply called Xue Chen and Xue Wen in to discuss: "Now that someone is following us, I'm afraid it's not a good intention, I want to invite Sister Zhong and Brother Liang to go back to the capital to find my sixth brother at night, you two might as well take Shimo and follow Lin and Kong back together." ”
Xue Chen and Xue Wen were young and vigorous, and when they heard that there were bad people following, they refused to leave a light rain.
Xue Chen saw that Xiaoyu refused to return to Beijing, and secretly calculated in his heart: "The sixth brother of the third aunt's maiden family is a general, and the third aunt is looking for him eight times out of ten. Nine to fight a battle. He was not very old, and when he saw Ruhao sitting on the side with confidence, he was a little eager to try.
Xiaoyu had to leave Lin Guard to discuss: "It's better for you to write a letter to Mrs. Xu and ask Mrs. to send someone over, just saying that Mrs. is sick and coaxing the fourth young master back." ”
Seeing that the road was unstable, Lin Huwei didn't want to take risks, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to Zhong Min and brought it over.
Although they walked for two days, they didn't go far, and Zhong Min returned to the capital in just one day. Mrs. Xu took the letter, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked Dangui to write a letter, only saying that she was unwell and asked Wen'er to come back quickly.
Because Zhong Min went to Xia Mansion again, Mrs. Xu waited in the room for her to come back to get the letter, this time Zhao Huan didn't dare to make random ideas, but only chanted the Buddha vigorously: "Mrs. Shizi's letter is too timely." ”
But when Xu heard this, he secretly thought: "This is not quite right, how can it be so coincidental, I only left for two days and let Wen'er go back, but left Xue Chen behind, did I want to do something on the way back?" ”
When she thought about it, she broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly tore up the letter of the dangui, and secretly rejoiced: "It's a shame that I thought about it again, and by her side, even if she wants to do it, she has to take care of her reputation." If Wen'er is called back, if something happens on the way, they may say that I am self-inflicted. Thinking about it, he picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Xue Wen in person.
When Zhong Min rode back and gave Mrs. Xu's letter to Xue Wen, Xiaoyu was overjoyed: "I see that Mrs. Xu didn't sincerely let the fourth brother follow me, I guess I can call him back." ”
I didn't want Xue Wen to read the letter, and said happily: "My mother told me to follow my sister-in-law well, and said that my skills in Meiling could not be practiced in vain, and asked me to protect the safety of my sister-in-law and the old lady of my in-laws." ”
Xiaoyu couldn't help but be stunned, pretended not to believe it, took the letter and looked at it again, sure enough, it was Mrs. Xu's handwriting, she looked at it several times, and she didn't see any traces on the side, so she had to return the letter to Xue Wen.
Xiaoyu was afraid that her grandmother would be suspicious, so she walked slowly forward as usual, but fortunately, this area is not far from the capital.
After walking like this for three or five days, Xia Liuye brought the guards to chase after him. The brother and sister discussed it, and the sixth master naturally wanted Xiaoyu to continue to escort his grandmother and stay to deal with the people who followed him.
Xiaoyu persuaded: "This group of people came for me, and they have been tested several times in the capital, and there was Boyan at that time, how did they find an opportunity." A few days ahead is the mountain road, but I am afraid that they will start, and it will not be safe for me to go with my grandmother. It's better for you to escort her back to Fengxiang first. I slowly led these people to Diaojian Mountain, and after you placed it, my grandmother immediately came to pick me up. ”
Although the sixth master was 10,000 unhappy, he also understood that what Xiaoyu said was the truth. Mrs. Xia is old. The brother and sister didn't want to alarm her, so the sixth master had to tell Xiaoyu to walk slowly on the road, and when he encountered a mountain road, he bypassed, and waited for him to send his grandmother back to respond to her.
The brother and sister discussed it, and then called Xue Wen and Xue Chen in, Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The people who follow behind don't know whether they are friends or foes, I will discuss with the sixth brother." Let's divide into two teams, Xue Chen follows me, Xue Wen, you take the guards to follow my brother. ”
Xue Chen had to endure the disappointment in his heart. nodded yes, but secretly sighed in his heart: "This uncle of the Xia family is a famous military general in Yanbei, who once broke the 100,000 army of Xidu people with one enemy and ten at the border pass. If only I could follow him. You'll definitely learn a lot. ”
He's thinking about it. Over there, Xue Wen shook his head and said, "No, I'll follow my sister-in-law." My mother asked me to escort my sister-in-law every step of the way. Sister-in-law, let Xue Chen go with his uncle. ”
The sixth master couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, glanced at Xue Wen, and thought secretly: "This kid is quite stubborn." ”
Xiaoyu had to be patient and persuaded softly: "Xue Chen has no guards by his side, so he followed me." You have two guards with you, so you can be a helper for the sixth brother. ”
When she said this, Xue Wen couldn't help but hesitate. looked at Guard Lin and said, "It's better for you and Guard Kong to follow Uncle Xia, and I will escort the third sister-in-law and Mrs. Xia." ”
Xiaoyu couldn't help but glance at the sixth master. Coughed softly.
Xue Chen, who was next to him, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, and secretly thought: "Isn't it the fourth uncle who said something wrong?" Before he could figure it out for a while, Xiaoyu over there had already said angrily: "Guard Lin and Guard Kong are both sent by their mothers to protect you, how can they leave you?" ”
Although Xue Wen is not as smart as Xue Chen, he also understands a little at this time: "Sister-in-law doesn't want to take him with you." He didn't know what to do for a while, so he went to see the Lin guards.
Lin Huwei thought secretly: "Since we came out with Mrs. Shizi, as long as we follow Mrs. no matter what, if something happens, I will have a good relationship." Then he said in a deep voice: "We are people from the Guogong Mansion, so naturally we have to follow the wife of the prince and the fourth prince." ”
Xiaoyu sighed and thought to herself: "It's evil today!" I had to groan slightly, turned my head to Guard Lin and said, "Grandmother is with my sixth brother, you and Guard Kong are together, and you can also help my sixth brother take care of it." ”
Lin Huwei suddenly seemed to be empowered, his heart was bright, and he couldn't help but secretly calculate: "If something really happens, these brothers and sisters will never let Mrs. Xia get into danger, and following the old lady is naturally the safest." ”
Lin Huwei pondered and understood, and it was not a good look to look at Xiaoyu and the sixth master again, and he scolded in his heart: "This errand is evil enough?" Hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Wen, Mrs. Xia is old, and she definitely needs more manpower to take care of her." ”
Xue Chen also understood a little when he heard this, his heart was pounding, and he secretly thought: "Why is there a suspicious person, the Xia family actually asked his sister-in-law to come forward to lure people away?" ”
Xue Wen looked at everyone's expressions, and beat the drum in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong, but he was simple-minded, and he couldn't come up with a clue after thinking about it for a long time, so he simply admitted to death and said: "I only follow my sister-in-law, Lin Guard, you and Kong Guard follow your uncle." ”
Even Xiaoyu was dumbfounded at this time, Xue Chen looked at his sister-in-law's smiling appearance, and thought, "Isn't there really some great big man following us?" ”
Xia Liuye was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, you will follow my sister to the north early tomorrow morning." Pick up the ink, just follow me, so as not to drag you down. After that, he stood up, glanced at Guard Lin and Guard Kong, arched his hand solemnly, and said kindly: "I hope that two good students will take care of my sister, she is here, you are here." If she's gone, you'd better disappear by yourself. ”
Lin Guard and Kong Guard laughed and groaned at first, but when they heard it, their knees weakened, and they knelt on the ground and said, "My subordinates should sacrifice their lives to protect the Lady of the Prince and the two sons. ”
Xia Liuye smiled slightly, dusted off his robe and arched his hand towards Xiaoyu: "Be careful on the road, if anyone has a different heart, you don't have a soft heart." ”
Xue Chen saw the third aunt, who had always been graceful and luxurious, blinked her eyes mischievously, and said with a faint smile: "When did I have a soft hand!" ”
Xue Chen couldn't help but take a breath and secretly thought, "Why is the third aunt's family talking so scary?" ”
Early the next morning, Xiaoyu changed into a big red arrow sleeve with silver trim embroidered with gold bamboo leaf pattern, and covered it with a big red light yellow lotus pattern sleeveless round-necked robe.
Xue Chen looked at the maids dressed in ink-colored arrow sleeves behind Xiao Yu, as well as the dozens of guards led by Luo Twelve, Han Hu, Han Bao and others behind him, and the cold wind blew in his heart. Xue Chen couldn't help but look back at Guard Lin and Guard Kong, swallowed his saliva and said to Xue Wen: "Fourth uncle, let's go!" (To be continued......)
